This change was discussed at the January business meeting, voted on, and approved. John has created the attached “April 29 ballot measure” document to explain in more detail what is happening. We must have another ballot meeting the requirements of the CA Secretary of State. The second document is the ballot which you should print, mark, sign and return on Friday at the business meeting or mail to the address listed on the ballot. Note that one negative vote will stop the change and we will then have to pay taxes. If you can’t print the ballot, come to the business meeting and we will have extra blank ballots there for you to use. This is important, so please follow thru with the process so we can put this behind us and have a great fair! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gary Lewis<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
